Sandium Heating and Air Conditioning

Today Sandium and Michael Lee completed installation and testing of a very high efficiency heat pump heating and cooling system in my home. I feel very fortunate to have discovered them, had the opportunity to work with them, and have them do the job.

A very high priority for me was to have a system that would be the most efficient possible in the heating mode especially at cold outside temperatures. Mike worked with me to find the system of a manufacturer that was not one they normally deal with including one part from even another manufacturer to make it more efficient. Mike's mechanical engineering degree and technical expertise from having worked for an air conditioner manufacturer I'm sure were invaluable in accomplishing all of this - other contractors did not seem willing or able to go the "extra mile" to do this. Mike also talked me through and contacted the manufacturers about some facets of the job where I had concerns that maybe there might be a better way. He and his crew also went the extra mile to ensure minimum duct leakage (which came in at a very commendable 3.3%) and to reduce noise to a minimum, often at no extra cost to me.

I was also very pleased that no up front payments were required (as were with so many other contractors), and that they have the 100% satisfaction guarantee for the first year. I believe only one other contractor offered me that. The cost was very competitive with (and less than many) other contractors that didn't offer the expertise and service) that I found at Sandium.

I would recommend Sandium to anyone considering an HVAC system replacement, upgrade or repair without reservation.

Sandium's service technician came to my house to fix my furnace. He was clean cut, friendly, very professional and worked efficiently.
My furnace is working great and the repair cost was very reasonable. I would refer Sandium to anyone that is in need of a furnace repair.

I like Sandium's prompt response and they were extremely knowledgeable, polite, and helpful. Sandium's crew showed up on time early in the Monday morning to replace our 30 year old furnace. The removing and installation were clean, efficient, courteous and professional.
We are very happy with the work they did for us. We highly recommend Sandium and would like to use them again in the future.

My experience with Sandium was great from the beginning to the finish. I started with a simple phone call and they took care of the rest. The technician showed on time and did a great job. I will recommend Sandium to the people that want good service with no hassles.

Sandium came to my house to troubleshoot a wine cooler. I was surprised how fast and effective there technician was. He found that the controller was bad. I was surprised again when he told me the repairs would be more than a new unit. In the past the technician always want to do the whole repair and charge a lot for it. But Sandium told me it would be more cost effective to buy a new one and explained how i could install it myself. They were very honest. and Finally he did not charge me for the temporary repairs to my cooler to save my wine collection. Thank you Sandium!

I've got to tell you, you saved our Christmas! Me and my family are very greatful to you and Sandium. I called your company on the morning of 12/24, as my furnace wasn't working. I thought that we would have to go to find warmth at a friend's house for Christmas, how can you expect to get a new furnace installed on the day before Christmas? I was afraid that I would have to spend $2K for a new furnace, and probably any other company would have made me buy a new furnace. Not Sandium, though, you guys are honest and straightforward. Your technician, Jacob came out and was able to fix the furnace, though it took him almost two hours, it really wasn't easy. Jacob is a very experienced and professional technician. Again, I was ready to pay for a new furnace, but you saved me the expense this time.
I'll definitely have you guys replace my furnace in a few months, and thank you again!
Mac I.
